10. Pony 4 Sale We have all seen this costume before but every time it makes you laugh. With the help of a brace (which let’s be honest everyone has an old brace in their closet) and the cute sign, this costume is a winner in our books! 9. The Starbucks Frappuccino For all…
And while bute does, indeed, reduce inflammation and increase comfort, there are several drawbacks to using this drug, especially on a regular basis. As an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), bute works by inhibiting a class of enzymes known as COX enzymes. In turn, this helps to reduce inflammation, but it can also adversely affect kidney…
98% of our population is on Facebook and we’ve ALL become accustomed to buying and selling horses on this social media front. How many times have you seen the ISO: Quiet, packer, age 7-10 (unicorn) ad posted in your groups. I see this all the time and while they know they are searching for a…
Every time around this year I grapple with this question. Part of me feels guilty for clipping away Chloe’s natural defense against the wind and cold, even though I know she will be blanketed (and sometimes double blanketed) and kept inside all night.

I can go further; have you ever worked your ponies, yearlings, foals, green horses, problem horses, students, children or even an adult that needs to build confidence in a round pen? 🙂 The endless help of a round pen can be a Godsend. The first time I really started to use a round pen was…

They can experience improved stamina, strength, coordination, and soundness. It doesn’t stop there! What is cross-training? Riders branch out into other…
We were unfortunate with weather and our mini event got knocked down to a combined training. Once everyone got past their lost cross country phase, merely because we decided on this show for cross country, we refocused and kept on. It was a good way to end the season as both riders had rounds to…
It is so not fair, right?! It is amusing how we do not hesitate to spend money on all the maintenance that goes into keeping our horses happy and healthy, but yet we bulk at treating ourselves to a similar treatment.
